Brothers and Sisters of Little Rock Fraternal
Order of
Police, Lodge 17:
Late Friday afternoon, I
received a phone call from the City Manager, Bruce Moore, who discussed
his
intentions to make an offer to the Little Rock FOP in exchange for the
deferral
of our 2010 cost of living increase that we voted on, as a body, in
December
2009.
Today, Bruce Moore
received
information that an offer he made to the Little Rock Firefighters IAFF
union
will be published in Sunday’s Arkansas Democrat Gazette. The
FOP Executive Board wanted you to be
informed that the offer that may appear in the paper on Sunday is
similar to the
offer that the Little Rock FOP union is expecting from the City. We
had been expecting this offer by the
middle of the week last week, but we have been informed that a formal
offer will
not be received until Monday, June 14, 2010.
The Little Rock FOP
Executive Board remains committed to the current contract discussions
with the
City and continued negotiations will be required. Our
major concern involves the fact that
we have not received our final report from the accounting agency we
hired to
conduct a complete financial analysis of the City. No
decision can be made on a contract
offer until we have reviewed all financial data compiled by the
accounting
agency and we have received their final report to the Little Rock
Fraternal
Order of Police.
Continued efforts are
also
being made to remain in touch with both of the city’s other two unions.
Your executive board asks that everyone
remain patient until such time that a solid offer from the City of
Little Rock
is on the table. We would like to
remind all members that if any changes are to occur to the current
Statement of
Agreement (2008-2011) it will require a vote of the entire LRFOP
membership.
As a contingency plan, we
have hired a reputable labor attorney who is in the process of drafting
language
in preparation for filing a lawsuit against the City on July 1, 2010, if
we are
unable to reach an equitable settlement with the City by that
time.
The Executive Board
thanks
you for your continued patience and we will keep you informed as this
situation
continues to develop.
Fraternally,
John
Gilchrist, President
Little
Rock FOP #17
